Commercial Radio Service

Ship-to-Shore Telephony HE Italian steamer Conte Rosso telephoned from the Red Sea to Trieste in order to make known publicly the success of the technical experiments with her wireless telephony duplex apparatus installed for longdistance communications, The traditional phrase "All well on board".jwas ‘followed by information as to ti" experiments made on the return trip from Hong-Kong to the Red Sea. The conversation lasted about 12 minutes in all. After leaving Bombay the passengers were permitted to try private conversations with Italy and other European States, and an Italian reporter sent a 8000-word message to a Turin. paper. The transmission of the voice was very -clear, though there was a slight weak‘ening which will be eliminated in the course of the next experiment. A. tegular commercial service on the Conte Rosso, which is equipped with the most powerful wireless apparatus so far used in passenger steamers, will begin on the next trip, when the rates will be announced.
